Abstract:
Leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata is a rare non-neoplastic proliferation of histologically benign smooth muscle that occurs in the alxlominal cavity of during the reproductive years of life, often giving rise to false choical imprwsion of d.isseminated carcinomatosis grossly, In 1952 Wilson & Peale described a condition which they called "multiple peritoneal leiomyomas". Taubert et al(1965) clearly delinated the features of the lesion and named it leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata(LPD). We report a case of leiomyomatosis peritonealis disseminata with a brief review of literatures.
